Nominees:
David Small (Student Senator)Recommended: That Senate approve changes to the design of Degree Diplomas, Certificates and Diplomas, thus amending S.89.07, as follows:
Paper stock to be "80M Classic Crest Cover, Solar White"
Background:
It is now timely to reorder the paper used for diplomas, given that the current supply is low. For years the University has used Parchtone -- a parchment style paper which is lighter weight than the proposed paper. Diplomas are first embossed with a gold metallic Seal of the University, and then individual diplomas are printed. In the case of Parchtone, it has been our experience that the embossed seal is flattened considerably during the second part of the process. This problem will be reduced significantly by using the proposed paper.
FOR INFORMATION
The University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario Act provides, in Section 26:
(3) Where within any membership year* a member of the Senate, other than an ex officio member, not having been granted leave of absence by the Senate attends less than 50 per cent of the regular meetings of the Senate, the Senate may by resolution declare such membership vacant.
(4) Where within any membership year* a member of the Senate, other than an ex officio member, not having been granted leave of absence by the Senate attends less than 25 per cent of the regular meetings of the Senate, the Senate shall by resolution declare such membership vacant.
* (The Senate membership year begins in November.)
Senate attendance is reviewed by the Operations/Agenda Committee from time to time, and the Committee is prepared to recommend to Senate that a Senate seat be declared vacant should a pattern of absenteeism develop. Senators who find they have a schedule conflict with Senate meetings may apply for a Leave of Absence from Senate for the period of the conflict. In this case, an Alternate will be appointed in accordance with the Senate policy for filling vacancies. If the conflict is unresolvable, resignation from Senate would be appropriate in order that the constituency concerned be represented by a duly appointed replacement.
